The Strongest Man in the World (1975) IMDB
When I get a streaming service I tend to go pretty deep into the movie catalog. It is a great way to find hidden gems and that is how I found this maze movie.
The movie is a typical 60-70’s Disney movie, revolving around an accident in a food laboratory that creates a cereal that gives the eater super strength. This leads to some corporate espionage (something that really does go on by the way) as a rival tries to steal or sabotage the formula. The movie has typical G rated comedy and over the top facial expressions from the actors. It also features a very young looking Kurt Russell in the lead role. You also get Cesar Romero with much less make-up than in his famous role and Dick Van Patten. During the testing of the formulas we get a section of the movie focused on a variety of animals solving mazes in a laboratory !
This is the type of movie you watch and if you leave the room you don’t pause it, but it is just entertaining enough to not turn off. I give it a 5.8/10. I did not find a trailer, but here is a clip to give you an idea about the movie:
